Hello Archlinux team,

the SeaMonkey package is outdated. Many critical issues have been fixed in the current version:

So in my opinion a fixed package is required as soon as possible.

As SeaMonkey contains a browser component and there may be people who use this to surf the internet, in my opinion new versions should be packaged with the same priority as Firefox packages. The only alternative would be to drop the package at all.

If you're concerned, you could do what I do - download the build information from the ABS and build it yourself. A bit of minor editing of the PKGBUILD is required, and the build takes a while (around and hour twenty minutes on my Core"Duo laptop), but that is it...
